G’day, My name is Kathryn,an aussie, I am a single parent with 2 children, Tristan aged 17 and jasmine aged 8 years. 8 years ago I was first diagnosed virtually straight after jasmines birth, with Osteopenia –85% density in my bones, then came Marfan’s syndrome, Bronchiectasis, Emphysema, Cystic Fibrosis and now an Ulcer is the lower throat.

The pages consist of my illnesses, my feelings, emotions, and the stress I am going through.

The Rose was chosen by Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Victoria as the Australian symbol for CF. The rose has endured throughout history as the symbol of abiding love. It is also linked to CF because of the story of a young boy who, in an effort to describe his sister's Cystic Fibrosis, mis-pronounced it as ‘65 Roses’.

On my support page, I am hoping to collect 65 roses (animated)** The roses have been broken up and put on different pages to download quicker**. If you have any or know some websites that have some please email me. Unfortunatly you can only access the "roses" via the support and guestbook page only.

Please bookmark this site, and come back often.
Take Care and have a nice day
